The Australian actress is also set to return to TV in the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced drama Hostages and will make her directorial debut later this year alongside the likes of Russell Crowe in the omnibus pic Sydney Unplugged, which movie database website imdb.com calls "a series of short films that serves as a love letter to Australia's largest city".

The Emmy Award winning actress is also in Nicole Holofcener's untitled next film and Pascal Chaumeil's A Long Way Down, adapted from the Nick Hornby novel.

Earlier this month, Collette was promoting her coming of age comedy The Way, Way Back alongside co-stars Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell and Zoe Levin at the Sundance Film Festival.
